Representation Summary:
Creating multi-user paths cyclists and EQUESTRIANS would improve the quality, accessibility and value of open spaces.
The Parks and Open Spaces Strategy makes no mention of equestrian use, despite the fact that it is a very popular pursuit in the local area and should be ammended accordingly.
In 2005 HBC issued a Parks & Open Spaces questionnaire to local residents. There were two questions relating to bridleways, the results showed that 39.3% of people wanted more Bridleways and off road cycleways. The proposed local plan without equestrian access only meets the cycleway need and does not address the bridleway need of residents.
